Online Backup and Storage Provider Is Singled Out for Unique Interruptible Capability

TORONTO–(EMWNews – July 22, 2008) – Online backup and storage provider Data Deposit Box

(www.datadepositbox.com) has been awarded United States Patent No.

7,401,194 for its continuous online backup product. The patent, “Data

Backup System and Method,” was awarded by the United States Patent &

Trademark Office (USPTO).

Unlike its competitors, Data Deposit Box has the ability to interrupt

itself at any point while the computer is being used. As a result, no

resources are used and the computer’s performance is not affected. When the

mouse is idle for more than 60 seconds, backup resumes from where it left

off, rather than starting again from the beginning. A two-phase process

ensures maximum file capture. The application first scans for small files

that can be backed up quickly, and then it backs up larger files.

Data Deposit Box Chief Technology Officer Tim Jewell invented the

application to automate the otherwise manual process of backing up. The

application was designed to run in the background and use computer idle to

accomplish its work.

“Data Deposit Box offers a unique feature to our customers, and we’re

excited to have secured a patent that will protect our product’s singular

ability to be interruptible,” said Data Deposit Box CEO Jamie Brenzel.

Data Deposit Box is a secure and comprehensive online data storage and

backup service that enables users to affordably and simply backup, restore,

and share information online for $2 per GB per month. Once the software is

installed, it can be customized to backup as many or as few files as

desired. Data Deposit Box runs invisibly in the background and engages

when the computer is connected to the Internet, continuously monitoring

selected folders. Data Deposit Box is automatic — when a change is

detected, it is immediately extracted, compressed, encrypted and then

securely transferred to a remote server. After creating a backup with Data

Deposit Box, customers investing in this service can securely access files

remotely from any web browser.

Data Deposit Box currently serves more than 30,000 customers, and the

number continues to grow by five percent per month. Approximately half of

Data Deposit Box customers are small business owners.
